rafaelfuser I don't have words to talk about this waste of time. The Mexico's horror cinema is just an upset...

megamelfina-995-947675 I love anthologies, but this one is just awful. A few shorts are okay, but nothing really blew me away. Of course, some of the shorts are so terrible that I contemplated turning the whole thing off. Spoilers below.The worst of the bunch, for me, is ""La Cosa mas Preciada/The Most Precious Thing". It's cheesy, stupid, and worst of all has some weird crap nobody wants to see in a so-called rated 'R' film. Don't watch this anthology with your parents, children (no matter what age), or really anyone, honestly. This particular short literally has close- up shots of "aluxes" (troll/imp/whatever) penis. Yes, really. The whole short was cliché, couldn't pick a genre, and just left me with a bad taste in my mouth. My favorite short was "Jaral de Berrios". The cinematography here was really gorgeous, and there were some neat effects. However, it was so short that it didn't really explain anything or go into enough detail to make a big impact on the viewer. Overall, this anthology is really weak, and I can't recommend it. Give it a pass in favor of better options.

albertomtz Here are seven horror shorts that lack horror, premise, dialogue, even sound at times. The whole collection is completely uninspired, the stories are poorly developed and executed.While photography may rescue part of some of these shorts, some just come short of everything, just like high school projects. Harsh? Maybe. True? Completely. Take for instance "La Cosa Más Preciada (The Most Precious Thing), the acting is bad, the dialogues are hands down some of the worst I've ever heard in cinema history, the whole thing was given an instagram-like "vintage" filter. This one in particular is preposterous. The rest of the shorts, whilst more professional, are still pretty bad and absurd, there is no heart to be found. If the project was done by amateur kids, then fine, I'd give it 4 stars, but these are - self?- deemed- directors.Also, the only Mexican thing on this are the assets (directors, actors, writers, producers, settings), there are no real legends or myths in here, just perhaps loosely 'inspired from'.My conclusion is that a couple of Mexican rejects from 'ABC's of Death' decided to take matters in their own hands... disaster ensued of course.I must say I was very excited to watch this since I first heard of the project back in early 2014. I was looking forward to what 'indie' Mexican directors had up their sleeve since we practically have no recognized mainstream horror directors, but no, I cannot vouch for any of them.

Ricardo Tellez I see the old Mexican films the presence of a soul that inhabits a shadow or a ghost indefinable. I can not explain it, but sorry. When in any latest movie so I find myself realize that ghosts do not die, they live inside us, we are the memory of our ancestors. Each of the segments that make up Mexico Barbarian leads coined iron taste to it. I do not need to understand anything, just to see, hear, feel, shake. His characters are not dead but are no longer here, are trapped in the limbo of an apparent space, sliding down the imaginary walls of our mind. Gothic horror and gore manifest as living penalties. What is our identity? It is not defined but stands in mountains of death, carnal lust, blood sacrifice, the virginal naivety assault, slavery, disappearances, revenge and betrayal. Each of the films is falling on the table as tarot cards."Mexico Barbaro" has this great mysterious power that solves nothing, keeps us from understanding. However presents, through a huge skull radiography, a work of art that outlines the entire beautiful and sinister face of what we are: a nation built on the garden of a cemetery.
